is this a drop on a soild surface?

Yes... I have two pieces of glass that are painted on the back... one white and one black. I figure out where the drop will land and then place a small amount of milk (in this case) at that spot. I focus on the closer side of the milk and let it happen. Settings: 2 flashes bouncing off white board set at 1/32, f20 or so, 1/100 speed. 100mm L macro lens.

amazing photo

Very cool! Looks like a crown.

Was going to say the same as rbsgrl - good title would be "Crowning Glory"

This crown will be given to the king of waterdrops !

Great picture !!!

great shot, congrats !

looking good!

Who'd of thought that oil can look so pretty.

This is a cool shot Author. Things like this, a simple thing can make such a nice capture and IMO it would be good for a chop contest. I get a bunch of ideas at first glance.
Example, it would have worked well in the space scene contest.
Good luck

Thanks, I'll make sure I enter it.

Brilliant !!!

well deserved 2nd lady. congrats

Wow, how many tries to get this one?

Fantastic! I really need to learn how to do this. Think I will take all day tomorrow for a learning day.

Blue water dropped into milk

Gee .... I wonder who this is???? Awwwwe it is so cute!

wonderful shape to the drop, sometime you will have to tell me how you achieve this.

it's actually pretty simple, just make sure that your drops are falling in the same spot and that your flow is fast enough to make the drops collide

When you tell it, It seems so simple, but I can assure you author : it's wonderfull !!!

were you and captgeo taking these together, lol close resemblance

Lol we kinda were, we've been chatting and helping eachother build a drop system the past couple of weeks

cool, nice shots I have tied these and failed, reflexes aren't very good anymore.
